Elfride looked thoughtfully at the myrtle.

'That enervating ride through the myrtle climate of South Devon—how I dread it to-morrow! ' Mrs. Swancourt was saying.

Then the man standing among the myrtle trees explained, " They are the ones the Lord has sent to go throughout the earth" .

那站在番石榴树中间的人说：" 这是奉耶和华差遣，在遍地走来走去的。"

'No: I am fond of myrtle'. Seeing that she did not take kindly to the idea, he said again, 'Why do you object to my having that'?

“不：我喜欢桃金娘”。见她不以为然，他又说：“你为什么反对我要那个？”

I once saw a pair consummate their union on the tip of a crepe myrtle bough, most precariously, and other pairs have mated at the edge of the bird-bath.

我曾经看到一对在绉桃金娘树枝的顶端完成他们的结合，非常不稳定，而其他对则在鸟浴的边缘交配。

The subject then dropped. Knight thought no more of the matter till, on entering his bedroom in the evening, he found the second myrtle placed upon his dressing-table as he had directed.

For a mile we had a low rolling hill for company, with traces of ancient habitation at its peak: a few yards of rotting fence, a crepe myrtle, an orange tree.

在一英里范围内， 我们有一座连绵起伏的低矮山丘， 山顶上有古代居住的痕迹：几码腐烂的栅栏、紫薇和橘子树。

Here and there in the grass, roses threw out sprangles from crushed old stems and pink and white crepe myrtle bloomed as valiantly as if war had not passed over their heads and Yankee horses gnawed their boughs.

草地上，有一簇簇的玫瑰，经过摧残之后，主干上又发出了新枝，还有粉色的紫薇争芳斗艳，仿佛它们头顶上上从没发生战乱，北方佬的战马也没啃过它们的枝叶。

The same pair of red-birds mates and nests in an orange tree behind my house and brings its progeny twice a year to the feed basket in the crepe myrtle in the front yard.

And they reported to the angel of the Lord who was standing among the myrtle trees, " We have gone throughout the earth and found the whole world at rest and in peace" .

那些骑马的对站在番石榴树中间耶和华的使者说：" 我们已在遍地走来走去，见全地都安息平静。"

During the night I had a vision, and there before me was a man mounted on a red horse. He was standing among the myrtle trees in a ravine. Behind him were red, brown and white horses.

" 我夜间观看，见一人骑着红马，站在洼地番石榴树中间。在他身后，又有红马、黄马和白马。"

The little ground doves fly as though uncertain of themselves, like apprentice birds learning the business. They take off with a whirring of tiny rose-lined wings, achieving the safety of the crepe myrtle with a spasmodic effort.

地面上的小鸽子飞来飞去，好像对自己不确定，就像学徒鸟学习业务一样。它们起飞时会发出呼呼作响的微小玫瑰色翅膀，用痉挛性的努力获得紫薇的安全。

The crepe myrtle beside the bird-bath explodes into Roman candles of bloom and showers of rosy blossoms fall hour after hour into the water, so that the red-birds and doves and mockingbirds emerge covered with flowers from their bathing.

鸟浴池旁的紫薇绽放成罗马盛开的烛光，阵阵玫瑰色的花朵一小时又一小时地落入水中，因此红鸟、鸽子和反舌鸟从沐浴后全身覆盖着花朵出现。
